General Settings
* All settings marked with a red asterisk are mandatory.
Items colored red can only be changed by users with administrator privileges.
Settings
Serial Number: from the label! Used throughout CAS to uniquely identify each Safe.
Network Info: shows the most recent active network connection for the device.
Restore point version: the most recent restore point created for this Safe.
See: Terminal Actions
Name: an arbitrary name you call this particular Safe. Be descriptive. Anything that will help you pick it out of a list will do.
Acceptors: the type of bill acceptor (and billset) currently installed in your Safe is displayed here.
Created at: the date and time that this CAS added this Safe to it’s database.
Safe Locked: Safe settings cannot be changed while locked by an Administrator.
Safe Active: enables the Safe, otherwise the Safe displays the maintenance message. De-activating the Safe turns off all access except administrative (at the Safe) and CAS (here).
Deactivate outside of opening hours: when enabled, the Safe is deactivated (and cannot be used) outside of the “opening hours” as defined within the assigned Location.
IP Whitelist Enabled: prevents your Safe from connecting to potentially dangerous local networks, and helps prevent loss if your Safe is abducted. See: Error: Check your IP Whitelist
Enable this after the Safe is deployed onsite, disable it during initial setup only.
IP Whitelist: the IP of the current (or most recent) router that your Safe is connected to.
Enable this if you are certain the IP will never unexpectedly change.
The IP to be entered is your router’s PUBLIC IP. Entering a local/private IP will result in the Safe being blocked. e.g. 192.168.x.x is a “private” IP - the opposite of public. More info?
Update IP Whitelist automatically unless GB Safe restarted: enable when IP’s are dynamically set by the Internet provider. When they assign a new public IP to the router, this setting will automatically accept the new IP and update the setting.
Registration Number: helps identify a Safe from the Safe screen (when implemented).
Can be any arbitrary identifying information, including any legally required registration numbers.
Also see (below): Top Left Corner Display
Top Left Corner Display: Used to display helpful identifying information at the Safe to customers & other third-parties (merchants, handlers, techs, etc) onsite.
GB Safe settings may be standardized and applied across common deployments.
Use GB Safe Templates to create & share those settings, see: GB Safe Templates
Once created, set the preferred GB Safe Template deploy it on this Safe.
Owner *: the Organization that owns this Safe (admin only).
Notification Policy: be certain to create and select a notification policy for your Safe. You won't be automatically notified of important GB Safe events unless you specifically activate a policy!
Skin: a custom theme that you may choose to display on this Safe.
See: Skins
Administration Key: This is the text to be encoded in a QR code. The resulting QR code is shown to the GB Safe when requesting access to onsite administrative functions.
The default key is already implemented, so leave this blank during initial setup.
Do not change this unless you have read this article: Change the BATM Admin QR Code
Maintenance Message: displays “Out Of Service”, “Gone Fishing”, or whatever you set here.
Controlled by the “Safe Active” setting above (“inactive” displays the specified message).
Diagnostics Key: the text to be encoded in a QR code. The resulting QR code is shown to the GB Safe when triggering an onsite self-test. This may be left blank during initial setup.
Auto Restart: when enabled, this will trigger the Safe to automatically reboot when the Internet has been unavailable for an hour. It will only restart a maximum of 6 times - then give up.
Also see: Error: Server is not Reachable
Show customer information on screen: when enabled, allow the teller to see the associated customer information before depositing the fiat.
Disable Door Sensor: check this option if you’re having detection issues. You must reboot the BATM after disabling the option (and thus re-enabling the door sensor).

Currencies
You'll need to have at least one type of paper currency setup in (“Fiat Settings”) to complete this section.
Main Cash Currency *: select the primary type of currency your bill acceptor is designed to receive. Your particular bill acceptor model can be determined from the Safe admin screen.
This is a mandatory field and must be entered to save the GB Safe setting.
See Acceptors (above) to identify your supported billset.
Each of these may be added and configured in the main menu “Fiat Settings”.
The first currency (i.e. USD in USDCADEUR) must be used & listed first.
Additional Cash Currencies: (optional) if your bill acceptor takes multiple currencies, specify them here. See the bill acceptor specifications for your Safe to determine what currencies are supported.
Example Additional Cash Currencies:
With US sales - the US Dollar, the Euro, & the Canadian Dollar (USDEURCAD) billsets are installed by default in the GB Safe, so in this example you would set “USD” as the “Main Cash Currency” (above) and add “EUR” and “CAD” as Additional Cash Currencies.
Skip the section if you only want to accept the main cash currency (USD).
Fiat Settings
Assign a fiat setting* to each Cash Currency identified in the previous step.
Languages
General Bytes' products supports many languages, and is constantly adding more!
Default Language *: the language that the Safe uses without intervention.
Preferred Languages *: the languages you wish to offer the customer on your GB Safe.
See: Supported Languages
Choose the ones most likely to be used in your locale.
